Height plays a major role in our appearance. Those who are taller look slim and tall in any outfit. However, for shorter women, it takes a lot of effort to look tall and slim in every other outfit. We cannot change our height but we can use few fashion tricks and tips to appear taller. Women can book boutique and get their clothes customized and tailored to look tall. Following are some of the tips, which can visually elongate the height of petite women.
Monochrome
Wearing single colors from head to toe is known as the monochrome effect. When you wear a single color on top as well as for bottom, it creates an illusion of height. Remember, the idea is to not look shorter but to elongate your height. So the longer you create a vertical illusion, the longer you will look. For example, you can choose solid shades like black, blue, green, gray and red. Try an all-black color jump suit and maxi dresses. You can also wear a tee and a skirt of the same shade and add a colorful scarf to your outfit. Just remember to keep your portrait crisp and well tailored.
Saree
Women with short height should avoid heavy border saree. They should choose a sari with a short border or no border. Choose saree with small prints and avoid heavy fabric like silk, cotton and tissue fabric as they make you look heavier. Instead, choose lightweight fabric like georgette and chiffon, as they tend to stick to your actual body shape. Petite women should choose a well-fitted blouse with heavy work. You can get blouse stitching services at various boutique and tailors.
High Waist Bottoms
High waist bottom can make short women look taller when paired correctly with various tops and shirts. When you wear a high waist bottom, they give the illusion of a taller lower body. Hence creates a taller silhouette. You can pair high waist bottom with tucked in well-fitted blouse or button down shirt. A crop top can also be paired with high waist jeans or a high waist skirt. While wearing a high waist skirt choose a knee length skirt. In addition, women who have a pear shaped or straight body type should avoid wearing high waist bottom.
